Sardinia holidays

Choose holidays to Sardinia and experience la dolce vita with crystal-clear bays, endless beaches and carafes of crisp Vermentino wine.

If Italy is boot-shaped, then the island of Sardinia is the ball that the mainland has kicked out into the Mediterranean Sea. The main, southern port town of Cagliari is a cultural melting pot of medieval castles and cathedrals. A-list Costa Smeralda on the northern coast is the home of pinky-white beaches and huge gin-palace yachts. Between this glitzy coastline of swanky marinas and golf courses you'll find unspoilt sandy coves and fishing villages. Inland, the rugged Gennargentu Mountains give you a taste of traditional life among the vineyards and farming villages.

Best of Sardinia holidays for...

Grown-up families: Your Sardinian treasure hunt begins at the Citadel of Museums in Cagliari's olde-worlde Castello district. The complex will serve you a potted history of the island with Roman weapons and dazzling Nuragic bronze statues on display.
Relaxing: Cagliari's sweeping 11km sandy stretch of Poetto Beach is the place to de-stress. Take in the azure blue sea from the top of the Devil's Saddle headland and sink your toes into the soft, powdery sand while you swallow icy mouthfuls of gelato.
Nightlife: Perfect your passeggiata evening swagger in Centro Storico, the cobbled old quarter of Catalan Alghero. Get the party started with aperitivo drinks in al fresco street cafés and dance until dawn in grotto-style clubs.
Romance: The sunset views over La Maddalena archipelago will inspire true amore on your Sardinia holidays. Dolphins chase private cruise boats around this national park as you take in the tiny granite islands and untouched bays.
Kids & teens: Make a splash at Baja's super-cool Aquadream water theme park. If you lose the kids you can bet they'll be flying through the Black Hole flume or bumping down Dream Hill waterslide.
Active types: The gentle winds off Porto Pollo's sandy peninsula are waiting to be harnessed. Drop into local surf shops to sign up to breezy activities from windsurfing lessons and boogie boarding to catamaran sailing.
Shopping: Get a real taste of fresh and feisty Sardinia at Cagliari's lively San Benedetto fish market. You can fill picnic hampers for beach barbecues with juicy prawns and olives from mouthwatering stalls and have a giggle bargaining with the locals.
